Our guess is that most of you have a smartphone if you’re reading this. Being smartphone owners ourselves, we’re always interested in knowing when a smartphone gets updated. Wouldn’t it be convenient to have this all in one place? That’s why we created our ‘Droid Updates’ Weekly Series.

Now that Android P is in alpha form, manufacturers are expected to shift their focus to the next version of Google’s mobile OS. Many Android flagship owners are still without Oreo, which is downright disappointing. So before manufacturers jump on Android P, it would be nice if some companies update their devices to last year’s version to prevent further fragmentation of the OS. The Nextbit Robin buyer is doing just that.

Razer jumped the smartphone bandwagon last year when it acquired OEM Nextbit, the company behind the Nextbit Robin smartphone. Just a few months later, Razer Phone was unveiled, and now we have a Special Edition Razer Phone.

Nextbit is the company that funded the Robin phone through Kickstarter back in 2015. At the time, one of the most significant features of the Robin phone was the possibility of having virtually “unlimited storage” through automatic cloud backups on ‘Smart Storage.’ Now that the Robin ceases to exist, and the company belongs to Razer, Smart Storage will officially shut down.

Razer entered the Android ecosystem in 2017 with Razer Phone. The smartphone, which runs on Android Nougat, is among the very first to have a 120Hz screen. Razer said the phone would be for “hardcore gamers,” since Razer is a gaming company, and that’s exactly what we got.
